 Just thought about this. Japan has half the population of the
 US. We were also fighting Italy and Germany. Japan was fully
 armed for war, and the US was poorly prepared.

 Iraq has less than 10% of the population of the US. Iraq's
 military was in poor shape. The US was fully armed and prepared
 for war, the mightest military in the world, with military
 expenditures exceeding the next 11 biggest military spenders
 combined, as of 2002.

 Yet we enterred the war in Dec 1941, it ended in Sept 1945.
 Three years and 10 months.

 We launched the war in Iraq in March of 2003. It is now August
 of 2006. Three years and 4 months.

 You have six months left to finish the job.

 If they can't defeat a third world country whose army has been
 disbanded, in less time than it took to defeat Japan, Germany,
 and Italy, just who are they fooling?
